In a recent interview with HitFix, Ryan Reynolds offered a snippet of information regarding the upcoming Deadpool spin-off.

“Well, I’m intimately involved with it. We’re just trying to break a story right now and figure out whom the villain is going to be and all that stuff. But, it’s going to be just like the comic books.”

Following this, Reynolds quelled fan murmurs by confirming Deadpool would still be in the state Wolverine left him in. “I’m gonna have a messed up face and you may see some flashbacks of Wade earlier in his life, but primarily what you see is what you get in the comics and that’s the goal. And there is no better place to draw material from then the comics, which are incredible.”

At this time the untitled Deadpool movie is still in pre-production. Aside from Reynolds, no other cast or crew have been attached to this project.
